Nov 7, 2009 750 ml bottle thanks to Eric. Drank at our early November 2009 blast. Pours a very cloudy brown with small bubbles pushing through. A sweet oak and grape nose, very tart seemingly and light funk. A very complex character; its dominated by a wine/vinous flavor, loads of sour grapes and barrel. Tart but not too much so, a lot of sweeter flavors. Very complex and nice.

Oct 18, 2009 Pours a clear plum color with no head. Aroma of wine, funk, and fruit. Flavor of grape, yeast-funk. Sour and tart with a hint of sweetness.

Oct 15, 2009 Pours dark red tending brown with a nice pink head that settles very quickly. Nose has trademark lambic funk, very tart red fruits hiding beneath dusty, salty notes. Palate is perhaps a little fuller than I expected but quickly dried up with high carb & racy acidity/tartness. Finishes quite dry with oak and tannic notes aswell. Awesome beer! A touch fuller than most other cantillons but huge tartness one expects from this brewery. Almost cross between gueuze and oude bruin/Flanders red.

Oct 14, 2009 Bottle: Poured a wine like plum color with no head. The aroma was funky, grape, and sugar. The flavor was sour grape and funkhouse. Overall, a wine like beer that was excellent.

Oct 12, 2009 Pours a red color with a fine white head. Has a wine smell mixed with brett. Has a sour grape juice taste to it. Not as sour as Cantillon’s other beers I’ve had.

Oct 12, 2009 I had previously tried this beer in bottle a year or so ago. Now on tap. The beer was served with no head to speak of but with a vibrant red hazy body. The nose was very Cantillon as expected. Nice and earthy with a real vinous quality to it. As if the nose was not enough, the taste gives you even more. There is a sweet but yet very sour, barny punch to this beer. It all works out very well if you are a fan of lambics and very sour ones for that matter. Just really really tastey and pleasing to the taste buds.

Sep 23, 2009 750ml bottle, dated Nov ’08, brought back from the brewery in Brussels, it was 8 euros there compared to 13 euros at a couple stores in town - Pours light red/violet with a small head. It smells of grapes and wild yeast. It has a very dry flavor with loads of lambic funk and a tart, subdued fruitiness. It’s light bodied and finishes dry and funky. Very enjoyable lambic.
